1 Kings 15
1 And in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam the son of Nebat began Abijam to reign over Judah.
Abija malitere ịbụ eze Juda, nʼafọ iri na asatọ nke ọchịchị eze Jeroboam nwa Nebat.
2 He reigned three years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Maachah, a daughter of Abishalom.
Ọ chịrị afọ atọ na Jerusalem. Aha nne ya bụ Maaka, nwa nwanyị Abishalom.
3 And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him; and his heart was not perfect with Jehovah his God, as the heart of David his father.
O mere mmehie niile nna ya mere nʼihu ya; o jighị obi zuruoke gbasoo Onyenwe anyị Chineke ya, dịka obi nna nna ya Devid dị.
4 But for David's sake Jehovah his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem, setting up his son after him, and establishing Jerusalem;
Ma nʼihi Devid, Onyenwe anyị Chineke ya nyere ya oriọna na Jerusalem, site na-ime ka nwa ya nwoke nọchie ọnọdụ ya nakwa ime ka Jerusalem guzosie ike.
5 because David did that which was right in the sight of Jehovah, and turned not aside from anything that he commanded him all the days of his life, except in the matter of Urijah the Hittite.
Nʼihi na Devid mere ihe ziri ezi nʼanya Onyenwe anyị, ọ dịghịkwa iwu Onyenwe anyị ọbụla nke ọ na-edebeghị nʼụbọchị ndụ ya niile, ma ọ bụghị naanị ihe banyere okwu Ụraya, onye Het.
6 And there had been war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life.
Agha dị nʼetiti Abija na Jeroboam nʼụbọchị niile nke ndụ Abija.
7 And the rest of the acts of Abijam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? And there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam.
Ma banyere ihe ndị ọzọ niile mere nʼoge ọchịchị Abija, o bụ na e deghị ha nʼakwụkwọ akụkọ ndị eze Juda? Agha dịgidere nʼetiti Abija na Jeroboam.
8 And Abijam slept with his fathers; and they buried him in the city of David. And Asa his son reigned in his stead.
Abija sooro nna nna ya ha dina nʼọnwụ, e lie ya nʼobodo Devid. Asa, nwa ya nwoke ghọrọ eze nʼọnọdụ ya.
9 And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Asa began to reign over Judah;
Nʼafọ nke iri abụọ nke ọchịchị Jeroboam eze Izrel, ka Asa ghọrọ eze Juda.
10 and he reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Maachah, daughter of Abishalom.
Ọ chịrị iri afọ anọ na otu na Jerusalem. Aha nne nne ya bụ Maaka, nwa nwanyị Abishalom.
11 And Asa did what was right in the sight of Jehovah, as David his father.
Asa mere ihe ziri ezi nʼanya Onyenwe anyị dịka Devid nna ya mere.
12 And he put away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his father had made.
O sitere nʼala ahụ niile chụpụ ndị ikom akwụna ụlọ arụsị niile, wezugakwa arụsị niile nke ndị nna nna ya ha mere.
13 And also Maachah his mother he removed from being queen, because she had made an idol for the Asherah; and Asa cut down her idol, and burned it in the valley of Kidron.
Ọ chụdakwara ọbụladị nne nne ya bụ Maaka, site nʼọnọdụ ya dịka nne eze, nʼihi na ọ kpụrụ ihe arụ, ogidi Ashera maka iji fee ya ofufe. Asa gbuturu ya kpọọ ya ọkụ na ndagwurugwu iyi Kidrọn.
14 But the high places were not removed; only, Asa's heart was perfect with Jehovah all his days.
Ọ bụ ezie na o wezugaghị ugwu niile dị elu, ma Asa ji obi zuruoke jere Onyenwe anyị ozi nʼoge ndụ ya niile.
15 And he brought into the house of Jehovah the things which his father had dedicated, and the things which he himself had dedicated, silver and gold and vessels.
O webatara nʼime ụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị ọlaọcha na ọlaedo na ihe niile nke nna ya na ya onwe ya doro nsọ.
16 And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.
Ma agha dịgidere nʼetiti Asa na Baasha, eze Izrel ụbọchị ọchịchị ha niile.
17 And Baasha king of Israel came up against Judah, and built Ramah, in order to let none go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.
Baasha eze Izrel, busoro Juda agha, wuchie Rema igbochi onye ọbụla na-apụ apụ maọbụ onye na-abata abata nʼoke ala Asa, eze Juda.
18 And Asa took all the silver and the gold that were left in the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and in the treasures of the king's house, and gave them into the hand of his servants; and king Asa sent them to Ben-Hadad, the son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, who dwelt at Damascus, saying,
Mgbe ahụ, Asa chịịrị ọlaọcha na ọlaedo niile dị nʼụlọakụ ụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị, na ndị dị nʼụlọeze ya, nyefee ya nʼaka ndị ozi ya ka ha chịrị ha zigara Ben-Hadad, nwa Tabrimọm, nwa Hezion, bụ eze Aram, onye na-achị na Damaskọs, sị,
19 There is a league between me and thee, [as] between my father and thy father; behold, I send thee a present of silver and gold: go, break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me.
“Biko, ka anyị gbaa ndụ dịka nna m na nna gị mere. Lee, ana m ezitere gị onyinye ọlaọcha na ọlaedo. Ugbu a, mebie ọgbụgba ndụ dị nʼetiti gị na Baasha, bụ eze Izrel, ka o si nʼebe m nọ wezuga onwe ya.”
20 And Ben-Hadad hearkened to king Asa, and sent the captains of his forces against the cities of Israel, and smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abel-Beth-Maachah, and all Kinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali.
Ben-Hadad kwenyere eze Asa, zipụ ndị ọchịagha ndị agha ya ka ha gaa buso obodo Izrel niile agha. Ọ lụgburu Ijon, Dan, Ebel-Bet-Maaka na ala Kineret niile, tinyere ala niile nke ndị Naftalị.
21 And it came to pass when Baasha heard of it, that he left off building Ramah, and dwelt in Tirzah.
Mgbe Baasha nụrụ nke a, ọ kwụsịrị iwu Rema, laghachi biri na Tịaza.
22 And king Asa called together all Judah: none was exempted; and they carried away the stones and the timber from Ramah, with which Baasha had been building; and king Asa built with them Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah.
Mgbe ahụ, eze Asa nyere iwu zigara ndị Juda niile, na ọ dịghị onye iwu ahụ hapụrụ, ha bịara bupusịa nkume na osisi niile dị na Rema, nke Baasha ji na-ewu ihe nʼebe ahụ. Eze Asa ji ihe ndị a wulie Geba nke Benjamin, wuokwa Mizpa.
23 And the rest of all the acts of Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and the cities that he built, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? Only, in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet.
Ma banyere ihe ndị ọzọ niile mere nʼoge ọchịchị Asa, na ihe niile ọ rụpụtara na obodo niile ndị o wuru, ọ bụ na e deghị ha nʼakwụkwọ akụkọ ihe e mere nʼoge ndị eze Juda? Ma ọ rịara ọrịa nke metụtara ụkwụ ya abụọ, mgbe o mere agadi.
24 And Asa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father. And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead.
Asa sooro ndị nna nna ya ha dina nʼọnwụ, e lie ya nʼebe e liri ha, nʼobodo Devid, bụ nna ya. Jehoshafat nwa ya ghọrọ eze nʼọnọdụ ya.
25 And Nadab the son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah; and he reigned over Israel two years.
Nadab, nwa Jeroboam, malitere ịbụ eze Izrel, nʼafọ nke abụọ nke Asa, eze Juda. Ọ chịrị Izrel afọ abụọ.
26 And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin with which he made Israel sin.
O mere ihe dị njọ nʼanya Onyenwe anyị. Ọ gbasoro ụzọ niile nke nna ya ma na-emekwa otu mmehie ahụ nke nna ya ji duba Izrel nʼime mmehie.
27 And Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him; and Baasha smote him at Gibbethon, which [belonged] to the Philistines, when Nadab and all Israel were besieging Gibbethon.
Baasha nwa Ahija, onye si nʼebo Isaka gbara izu ọjọọ megide ya. O tidara ya na Gibeton, nʼotu obodo ndị Filistia, mgbe Nadab na ndị Izrel niile nọchibidoro ya.
28 And Baasha slew him in the third year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his stead.
Baasha gburu Nadab, nọchie ọnọdụ ya dịka eze, nʼafọ nke atọ nke ọchịchị Asa, eze Juda.
29 And it came to pass when he was king, he smote all the house of Jeroboam; he left to Jeroboam none that breathed; until he had destroyed him, according to the word of Jehovah which he spoke by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite,
Ngwangwa, mgbe ọ malitere ọchịchị ya, o gburu ndị ezinaụlọ Jeroboam niile. O kweghị ka onye ọbụla na-eku ume fọdụ, kama ọ lara ha niile nʼiyi, dịka okwu Onyenwe anyị kwuru site nʼọnụ onyeozi ya, bụ Ahija onye Shilo.
30 because of the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and wherewith he made Israel to sin; by his provocation with which he provoked Jehovah the God of Israel to anger.
Ihe ndị a mere nʼihi mmehie niile Jeroboam mere, nke o mere ka Izrel mee, nakwa nʼihi na ọ kpasuru Onyenwe anyị, bụ Chineke Izrel iwe.
31 And the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Ma banyere ihe ndị ọzọ niile mere nʼoge ọchịchị Nadab, o bụ na e deghị ha nʼakwụkwọ akụkọ ihe mere nʼoge ndị eze Izrel?
32 And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.
Ma agha dịgidere nʼetiti Asa na Baasha, eze Izrel, ụbọchị ọchịchị ha niile.
33 In the third year of Asa king of Judah began Baasha the son of Ahijah to reign over all Israel in Tirzah, for twenty-four years.
Nʼafọ nke atọ nke Asa, eze Juda, Baasha nwa Ahija ghọrọ eze ndị Izrel niile na Tịaza. Ọ chịrị iri afọ abụọ na abụọ.
34 And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin where with he made Israel to sin.
O mere ọtụtụ ihe dị njọ nʼanya Onyenwe anyị. Ọ gbasoro ụzọ ọjọọ niile nke Jeroboam, jeekwa ije nʼime otu mmehie ahụ nke Jeroboam dubara ndị Izrel ime.
